Dear Members and Friends -
This is from Rick Rollens whose son was on the cover of Time magazine
last summer when they did a cover story on autism. Couldn't imagine a
more appropriate story for reminding us that God continually puts us in
situations that provide teaching/learning experiences....and confirmation!

Having just returned from a short trip to Hawaii with my son Matthew, I
feel
compelled to share with you an experience I had on the remote, sparsely
populated East Shore of Oahu, an experience that documents and illustrates
that there is serious trouble in paradise too.

My 15 year old son Matthew and I decided to go bodysurfing last Friday on a
remote, and secluded beach on the eastern shore of Oahu. We arrived on a
pristine beach, where only about a half dozen island people were there
enjoying the beach, waves, and sun. During a break from bodysurfing, I made
my way back to our towels to rest for a moment. As I was approaching the
towels, I noticed a large group of people, kids and young adults, maybe
15-20, coming my way. As they approached I thought "Gee, this big long beach
with so few people here right now....well...". As the group arrived they
parked their blankets, chairs and stuff right next to mine. I thought "This
huge long secluded beach, and they have to move in right next to me !!".

As I was getting ready to go back into the water I heard a sound that is
all too familiar to a parent of a child with autism. A little boy about 8
years old had let out a loud "Eeeeeeee". I looked over at the boy who was
now
flapping his hands and recognized in a moment what so-called autism experts
say they are now just recognizing...a child with autism. The young tutor had
just asked the little boy "What's your name?" He answered "Andrew" which
caused a tutor response of "Good job!".

Well, it turns out that the group in part consisted of 12 young Hawaiian
children with regressive autism, all suffering from gastrointestinal
problems
(chronic diarrhea and/ or constipation), sleep disorders, gluten and casein
food problems, lots of autoimmune problems, and absolutely no family
history
of autism or any other developmental disability.... the whole nine yards of
what we all have come to know as regressive autism.

According to the tutors who were from a Center in the area that deals only
with autistic children, these children, aged 3-12, were all of Hawaiian
decent and were only a few of the autistic children from the small towns and
villages of the East shore of Oahu. I asked the tutors about the numbers of
children in the area with autism. They said they had no idea what was going
on, but only that there were more and more of these kids all the time.

I was shocked to hear that none of these children were from the populated
areas of Honolulu or Waikiki, but all were from one small area on the East
shore of this one island. I stopped and thought to myself "Gee another
autism
cluster...first Brick Township and now rural Hawaii !!" (Knowing all too
well
that where ever you look in the United States and the developed world you
will find the exploding autism epidemic).

I tried to think of what in the world Brick Township, New Jersey, Granite
Bay, California (1-132 kids with autism), and rural, pristine, Hawaii had in
common? I was quickly reminded when I returned to my hotel room, turned on
the TV, and watched an aggressive public health sponsored commercial to
"vaccinate your child," and within two hours saw three times what I call the
"quack commercial," the one showing the sad little yellow duck, you know the
Merck commercial for the chickenpox vaccine. Yes, there is trouble in
paradise, trouble everywhere we look.

[No place is immune from the blind belief in vaccines.

Hi Gorden,

I have 11 grandchildren ranging from the oldest being 12 years old to the
youngest being 9 months old.

Our daughter has a set of identical twins at the age of 10 years old. The
oldest twin(Autumn) had the first series of immunizations at a very early
age and when she was able to talk complained about her legs always hurting
and her eye sight was bad. Our daughter took her to a specialist about her
eyes and the specialist's first question to Tricia was asking her if the
twins
had their immunizations. Tricia told her the truth, yes she did start the
immunizations on both of the girls but with the first batch they both became
ill and she refused to take them back and told their Doctor why. This
specialist told Tricia that the immunizations that the girls had was what
caused damage to Autumn's liver which caused the problems with the eyes.
Now that was 3 years ago and Autumn was fitted for a byfocal for the right
eye and a tryfocal for the left eye. The specialist said that in time that
the liver would cleanse its self and that her eye would improve. Yes, that
did happen, but we had a homeopathic tincture made for her to help push
the toxins out of the liver which is where the toxins from anything that
enters
the body end up. This same family has a younger sister that was greatly
effected by her first batch of immunizations. Her speach was greatly
effected. Their 4th child has no immunizations and of course has no side
effects of them. We operate a Wholistic Health Center where we keep
up on the immunization info and we also pass out exemption forms for
them. Here in the state of Pennsylvania schools do have to recognize
the choice of the parents. There are also side effects with our last born
grandchild who is now 9 months old. She has been sick ever since she
had her first series of shots. She has been in and out of the hospital with
high fevers and bacteria infections which all came about since her shots.
She was really healthy before hand. Am I against immunizations????
You bet I am!!

Comments
The New Zealand immunisation authorities, specifically IMAC, have filed a
formal complaint with the New Zealand Press Council over our coverage of the
immunisation issue in this magazine. They want the Press Council to rule
that vaccines don't cause nasty side effects.

Please can all people who have suffered harm from a vaccination, or their
children, please post a message to this messageforum detailing in 150 words
or less what happened to them, and if you would be good enough to include an
email address that I can contact you on that would be appreciated.

We plan to dump a thick wad of cases on the Press Council's desk to
illustrate the point. I don't care from where in the world the cases come
from as long as they are genuine and I can email you if needs be. This is a
unique opportunity to show regulatory authorities not just in New Zealand
but everywhere the size of the problem.

The other aspect of course is that all the case studies will be available in
this message forum for parents everywhere to read, so it will become a great
resource base for you all.

Please cut and paste this message...I need these responses as quickly as
possible.

The website address to post responses is

Thank you for reading this. Let's make a stand for people-power worldwide.
